Leadership Roles: The merger may lead to changes in leadership roles, such as the CEO and other top executives. Decisions about who will lead the combined entity can impact the company’s direction, strategy, and corporate culture.

Shareholder Rights: Shareholders may need to vote on the merger, and the terms of the deal, such as the exchange ratio or cash consideration, can affect their ownership and economic interests in the merged entity.
